 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT BY THE STUDENT.
The success of the initiation and completion of this program can be
attributed to a few individuals who have given me their useful insights and
extremely valuable time.
Firstly I would like to share a deep sense of gratitude to the University of
Mumbai who gave me this opportunity to work on an activity which has only
helped increase my knowledge domain
Secondly, a big thanks to the Principal of Shailendra Degree College, Dr. V. M.
Ingavale Sir who gave his unflagging support and encouraged me to
undertake this assignment.
Lastly, I would like to throw light on the enormous help and support provided
to me by my parents, the student managers- Sairaj Utekar (S.Y.B.M.S.) and
Ameya Munj (S.Y.B.B.I.) and my teachers- Prof. Shital Patil, Prof. Rupal Patel
and Prof. Pooja Tripathi who were there whenever there was a serious need
for help.

My Reason for joining Extension Work Activity

Personally, I have always been a strong believer in adding value to myself by
way of knowledge. Through this extension work activity, I have only
managed to add to my knowledge domain. Also, I firmly believe that extra-
curricular activities that help you learn along with college academics is
extremely important for the overall development of an individuals
personality.
DLLE has given me the opportunity to thrive on both these fronts and
execute them both in an appropriate manner. Based on the kind of topics
available, there was so much that was desired to be learnt
The project has enabled me to gain information on aspects related to AIDS,
The Status of the Women in the Society, the Right to Vote and considering its
importance, it is an absolute essential to have knowledge on it.
The essay writing was yet another part of this project that was extremely
informative and at the same time interesting as it helped me understand the
achievements that the women of this country have accomplished.

Part A: For the Students who enrolled for Traditional Extension
Activities (offline)

Had you enrolled for extension activities in the past? Yes / No

- NO

What were your expectations about extension activity?

sufficient information on the topics I have chosen and that my
knowledge domain has increased.
-
Are your expectations fulfilled?
- YES
-
Problems you faced (if any):
- The only real problem faced was the fact that keeping track of the
number of hours of completion of the assignment was difficult.
-
Did you like the extension activities? Yes / No. Please mention why?
- YES
- Through these extension activities I got aware of the various problems
or social issues faced by the people in our society and got to know few
ideas to tackle those problems.
-
Are you satisfied with the overall extension activity?
- YES
-
In which mode, will you participate in extension activity if given
opportunity again Online/Offline? (put a tick mark) Please mention
why?
- BOTH
- Because through the online activities I will get to learn various online
courses which will help me enhance my resume and thus will make
better job opportunities available for me. Offline activities will help me
to learn more about the social issues and ways to solve them.
-
How did you carry out these activities?
- Through awareness campaigns, rallies, displaying posters, guiding the
people to resolve their issues, etc.
-
What do learn by Extension Activities? (Gain/ loss)
- GAIN
-
How will Extension Work help you to contribute to the Society?
- Little act of kindness, small changes in lifestyles and being a
responsible part of the society will do the trick.
 What do you say about improving Extension Work: (Your Experience,
view, suggestions, etc.)
- As I said earlier, these activities helped me to know about the various
problems faced by the people of the society or the social issues and
the ways to tackle them. I also had a very great experience in knowing
everything and performing various activities to resolve those issues. I
am sure this experience is going to help me a lot in my future personal
as well as professional life. I would like to suggest only one thing to
improve the extension work and that is the students should conduct
periodic surveys to come to know about the improvement or the new
problems arising.
 AWARENESS OF HIVS/AIDS
Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV). Following initial infection, a person may not notice any symptoms or may
experience a brief period of influenza-like illness. Typically, this is followed by a prolonged
period with no symptoms. As the infection progresses, it interferes more with the immune
system, increasing the risk of common infections like tuberculosis, as well as other opportunistic
infections, and tumors that rarely affect people who have working immune systems. These late
symptoms of infection are referred to as AIDS. This stage is often also associated with weight
loss.

HIV is spread primarily by unprotected sex (including anal and oral sex), contaminated blood
transfusions, hypodermic needles, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or
breastfeeding. Some bodily fluids, such as saliva and tears, do not transmit HIV. Methods of
prevention include safe sex, needle exchange programs, treating those who are infected, and
male circumcision. Disease in a baby can often be prevented by giving both the mother and child
antiretroviral medication. There is no cure or vaccine; however, antiretroviral treatment can slow
the course of the disease and may lead to a near-normal life expectancy. Treatment is
recommended as soon as the diagnosis is made. Without treatment, the average survival time
after infection is 11 years.

In 2015 about 36.7 million people were living with HIV and it resulted in 1.1 million deaths.
Most of those infected live in sub-Saharan Africa. Between its discovery and 2014 AIDS has
caused an estimated 39 million deaths worldwide. HIV/AIDS is considered a pandemic a disease
outbreak which is present over a large area and is actively spreading. HIV is believed to have
originated in west-central Africa during the late 19th or early 20th century. AIDS was first
recognized by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 1981 and
its cause HIV infection was identified in the early part of the decade.

HIV/AIDS has had a great impact on society, both as an illness and as a source of discrimination.
The disease also has large economic impacts. There are many misconceptions about HIV/AIDS
such as the belief that it can be transmitted by casual non-sexual contact. The disease has become
subject to many controversies involving religion including the Catholic Church's decision not to
support condom use as prevention. It has attracted international medical and political attention as
well as large-scale funding since it was identified in the 1980s.
